Advice for Rich People

5Now listen, you rich people! Cry and moan over the miseries that are overtaking you.G33G3568G4145G2799G3649G1909G5216G5004G1904
2Your riches are rotten, your clothes have been eaten by moths,G5216G4149G4595G2532G5216G2440G1096G4598
3your gold and silver are corroded, and their corrosion will be used as evidence against you and will eat your flesh like fire. You have stored up treasures in these last days.G5216G5557G2532G696G2728G2532G2447G846G2071G3142G1519G5213G2532G5315G5216G4561G5613G4442G2343G1722G2078G2250
4Look! The wages that you kept back from the workers who harvested your fields are shouting out against you, and the cries of the reapers have reached the ears of the Lord of the Heavenly Armies.G2400G3408G2040G3588G270G5216G5561G3588G575G5216G650G2896G2532G995G2325G1525G1519G3775G2962G4519
5You have lived in luxury and pleasure on earth. You have fattened yourselves for the day of slaughter.G5171G1909G1093G2532G4684G5142G5216G2588G5613G1722G2250G4967
6You have condemned and murdered the one who is righteous, even though he did not rebel against you.G2613G5407G1342G498G3756G498G5213

Be Patient

7So be patient, brothers, until the coming of the Lord. See how the farmer waits for the precious crop from his land, being patient with it until it receives the fall and the spring rains.G3114G3767G80G2193G3952G2962G2400G1092G1551G5093G2590G1093G3114G1909G846G2193G302G2983G4406G2532G3797G5205
8You, too, must be patient. Strengthen your hearts, because the coming of the Lord is near.G3114G5210G2532G3114G4741G5216G2588G3754G3952G2962G1448
9Do not complain about each other, brothers, or you will be condemned. Look! The Judge is standing at the door!G4727G3361G2596G240G80G3363G2632G2400G2923G2476G4253G2374
10As an example of suffering and patience, brothers, take the prophets, who spoke in the name of the Lord.G2983G3450G80G4396G3739G2980G3686G2962G5262G2552G2532G3115
11We consider those who endured to be blessed. You have heard about Job's endurance and have seen the purpose of the Lord - that the Lord is compassionate and merciful.G2400G3106G5278G191G5281G2492G2532G1492G5056G2962G3754G2962G2076G4184G2532G3629

Do Not Swear Oaths

12Above all, brothers, do not swear oaths by heaven, by earth, or by any other object. Instead, let your "Yes" mean yes and your "No" mean no! Otherwise, you may fall under condemnation.G1161G4253G3956G3450G80G3660G3361G3383G3772G3383G1093G3383G5100G243G3727G1161G2277G5216G3483G2277G3483G2532G3756G3756G3363G4098G1519G5272

The Power of Prayer

13Is anyone among you suffering? He should keep on praying. Is anyone cheerful? He should keep reciting psalms.G2553G5100G1722G5213G2553G4336G2114G5100G2114G5567
14Is anyone among you sick? He should call for the elders of the church, and they should pray for him and anoint him with oil in the name of the Lord.G770G5100G770G1722G5213G4341G4245G1577G2532G4336G1909G846G218G846G1637G1722G3686G2962
15And the prayer offered in faith will save the person who is sick. The Lord will raise him up, and if he has committed any sins, he will be forgiven.G2532G2171G4102G4982G2577G2532G2962G1453G846G1453G2579G5600G4160G266G863G846
16Therefore, make it your habit to confess your sins to one another and to pray for one another, so that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous person is powerful and effective.G1843G3900G240G2532G2172G240G5228G240G3704G2390G1754G1162G1342G2480G4183
17Elijah was a person just like us, and he prayed earnestly for it not to rain, and rain never came to the land for three years and six months.G2243G2258G444G3663G2254G2532G4336G4335G1026G3361G1026G2532G1026G3756G1909G1093G5140G1763G2532G1803G3376
18Then he prayed again, and the skies poured out rain, and the ground produced its crops.G2532G4336G3825G2532G3772G1325G5205G2532G1093G985G846G2590
19My brothers, if one of you wanders away from the truth and somebody brings him back,G80G1437G5100G1722G5213G4105G575G225G2532G5100G1994G846
20you may be sure that whoever brings a sinner back from his wrong path will save his soul from death and cover a multitude of sins.G1097G846G1097G3754G1994G268G1537G4106G846G3598G4982G5590G1537G2288G2532G2572G4128G266
